-Monthly values of el0, the critical frequency relative to the critical frequency at zero sunspots, have been averaged for a number of stations and tabulated for the eleven-year period 1937-47. The variations of el0 for the E-, Fi-, and F2-regions have been correlated with the solar data for sunspot-numbers, bright Ha and Ca floecult, faculae, and the coronal-line intensity. The variations corr...
